Just because Intel no longer supports these boxes doesn't mean I'll turf them. At least not until they stop working or a feature is needed they don't provide.
The setup is pretty much as recommended anyway.
Thanks for your help, guys.
Best regards,

Intel no longer makes or supports print servers, so you'll need to turn off ECN on the Linux box. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf adding net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0 and run as root sysctl -pGiven Intel's lack of support, you might want to move the printer to the Linux box and have it act as the print server (most Linux distributions support lpd, NetWare, Windows and AppleTalk print protocols). It's also unwise to put printers in the same VLAN as PCs. Better that printers have their own VLAN and that a machine sit between the two VLANs that acts as the spool for all the printers. This gives a single way to manage and account all print traffic. This is worthwhile even in a small office with a lot of trust (eg: then an Apple user can delete the job I submitted from Linux).
